Skincare can sometimes be confusing. Cleansing, toning and masking is pretty straight forward but how to best incorporate Biologique Recherche facial serums into your skincare routine can be a bit more complicated. Read on for a simple straight forward guide on the basics and how to see the most effective results from these highly active skincare serums.
What are the different types of Biologique Recherche face serums?
Biologique Recherche has 3 types or categories of face serums; Quintessential Serums, Targeted Serums and Finishing Serums. These highly active serums are customized to address a wide range of specific skin issues and concerns. Each contain a high concentration of active ingredients, are cold formulated with minimal preservatives and no artificial fragrances to preserve their potency for optimal results.
How do I incorporate face serums into my at home skincare routine?
Step 1: Thoroughly cleanse your face in the am and pm to remove any makeup, dirt or impurities. This will allow the serums to fully absorb int your skin without interruption for best results. We recommend using a gentle cleanser.
Step 2: Tone your skin to properly balance your ph levels and exfoliate any dead skin cells from the epidermis. This will further cleanse your skin and allow your face serums to work most effectively. The Biologique Recherche P50 is our favorite choice as it exfoliates, balances, and tones all in just one step. P50 is a must to achieve your best skin ever.
Step 3: Mask. Masking is an effective way to target specific skin issues and step up your skincare to further treat improve the health of your skin. We typically recommend using a skincare face mask 1-2 times per week. An excellent all purpose skincare face masque to use is the cult favorite yeast based Masque Vivant.
Step 4: Apply your Quintessential Serums. These serums are the foundation to the Biologique Recherche methodology to treat specific skin issues. Apply 3-4 drops with your fingertips on a cleanse dry face, neck and décolleté. Allow them to absorb with a gentle pat and press method. These serums are formulated to mix, match or layer. You can combine 2-3 serums depending on your skin concerns. Some of our favorites are:
Serum Elastine: Smooths fine lines and wrinkles. Excellent around the eye contour area
Serum Amniotique VG: Intensely hydrates and soothes dry skin
Serum Complexe Iribiol: Controls excess sebum secretion to control acne breakouts
Step 5: Apply your Targeted Serums. These face serums are used to "target' specific skin issues like sensitivity and redness, hyperpigmentation, dehydration or loss of elasticity. These should be applied after your quintessential serums and layered on top. Two of our bestsellers are:
Serum Biosensible: Sooths irritated skin to reduce redness and inflammation

Step 6: Apply Your Finishing Serums. These serums are applied as your last step in your serum application. They provide enhanced benefits such as protection and radiance. They seal in all the goodness and ingredients of your previous serums. Two of our favorites are:

After your serum application you would apply your face cream to seal in your serums, moisturize and protect. During the day always finish with your SPF sun care to protect against sun damage and UV rays.
